Tunnel Vision: Nebraska v. Dr. Anthony Garcia Ep. 226: Didn't Hear It Or It Didn't Happen? 15.11.2022

159db. If there was a rock concert in your front yard, do you think you would hear it inside your house? How about if an airplane were to take off in your neighbors yard?

Tunnel Vision: Nebraska v. Dr. Anthony Garcia Ep. 217: As the Crow Drives 05.08.2022

Distance is defined as the amount of space between to points. To say that Omaha PD is far from solving this case isn't exactly fair because, we, at this point, don't know how long it will be until the case is solved. It is however, pretty safe to assume that currently, they aren't exactly close. No one knew it would be years until any arrests would be made and even then it's only a matter of perce...

Tunnel Vision: Nebraska v. Dr. Anthony Garcia Ep. 212: Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam 24.06.2022

Sometimes it seems as though OPD is on top of every last hint, lead, clue, tip, etc. At other times it seems as though they decide not to look into what, at first glance, could be an actual lead. A tip from a local bar patron sparks a thorough follow up, while a local journalist/ true crime enthusiast is all but ignored. Will we finally track down the Russian Dr. we've been searching for?   Outro/...

Tunnel Vision: Nebraska v. Dr. Anthony Garcia Ep. 211: Evidence Matters 17.06.2022

A proper reaction to a repulsive comment catapults a new name to the top of the suspect list. Will anything come of it? Does OPD finally have "the guy"? Or will it end up being another name scratched off the growing list of cleared names?
